Traditions and Customs of Gadangmes of Ghana

The book "Traditions and Customs of Gadangmes of Ghana: Descendants of Authentic Biblical Hebrew Israelites", by Joseph Nii Abekar Mensah (hereafter, 'the author'), published by Houston, TX : Strategic Book Publishing and Rights Co, in 2013, has content on page 35 which appears to derive directly from the GPN page, Ga, which predates the book by more than two years.

By comparing the two pages whose links are given above it can be seen that the author has used substantially the same selection of place names, in the same order, and in some cases using the same phrases to describe them. But there are notable instances of misunderstanding. The table of quotations below illustrates the comparison:

The author has obviously attempted to paraphrase GPN content, but has made no acknowledgement of the source. A number of original GPN phrases clearly remain (some of which have not been understood), thus exposing the author to a reasonable charge of plagiarism.
